Meet Lucas – Founder of Cookies Basics
Hi, I’m Lucas, the creator and heart behind Cookies Basics — a place where cookie lovers and baking beginners come together to rediscover the joy of homemade treats.
Baking has always been more than a hobby for me — it’s a form of connection. Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of baking cookies in the kitchen with my mother. Flour-covered countertops, warm vanilla scents in the air, and laughter shared over mixing bowls — those moments shaped not only my love for cookies, but my belief in the power of homemade food to bring people together.
Later, I spent afternoons with my grandmother, learning time-tested recipes and appreciating the magic of simple, honest ingredients. As I grew older, I began experimenting with flavors and techniques, blending tradition with creativity. Cookies became my canvas, and baking became my passion.
I started CookiesBasics.com with one simple idea: to make baking accessible, fun, and delicious for everyone. Whether you’re baking your first batch or looking to perfect your signature cookie, my goal is to guide you every step of the way. On this site, you’ll find easy-to-follow recipes, step-by-step tutorials, and practical tips that even the busiest or most hesitant bakers can follow.
But this site isn’t just about recipes — it’s about community. It’s about bringing back the basics that make baking joyful and rewarding. It’s about helping you share a piece of love with every batch you make.
My Favorite Cookies – And Why They Matter
If I had to pick just one favorite, it would be the classic chocolate chip cookie — golden edges, a soft center, and just the right balance of sweet and salty. To me, it represents everything that’s great about baking: simplicity, nostalgia, and the kind of flavor that makes you smile with every bite.
But I also have a soft spot for oatmeal raisin (yes, really!) because it reminds me of the warm, rustic recipes my grandmother used to make, and peanut butter cookies for their rich, bold flavor that always surprises people with how satisfying they are.
These cookies inspire my work because they’re timeless. They prove that you don’t need complicated ingredients or fancy tools to make something memorable. They remind me that at the heart of every great cookie is a story — and that’s what I try to bring to every recipe I create for Cookies Basics.
